Dr. Dölen is an amazing plastic surgeon and human. He has made me feel heard & understood through the reconstruction process so far and has done an excellent job of walking me through my reconstruction from surgery to now tissue expander fills. I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am for his knowledge, expertise, attention to detail, explanation of what to expect, and for his care. It means more to me than I can properly put into words. I am both thankful and blessed to have him as my surgeon.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
